Instructions

Embellishment: Once all 5 motifs are made, use a tapestry needle to sew 3-5 small silver spacer beads into the center of each motif, securing them firmly on the back.
Connecting Lace Motif (Make 8-10)
These smaller motifs connect the main floral elements and form the sides of the necklace.
Start: Ch 4, sl st into the first ch to form a ring.

Embellishment: Sew 1 small silver spacer bead into the center of each motif.
Assembly
Arrange your motifs to form the necklace structure, typically one central Main Floral Motif, with two more on each side, connected by the Connecting Lace Motifs and small chain links.
Joining Motifs: Use small jump rings or very small chain stitches (ch 2-3, sl st) to connect the points of the motifs as seen in the image. The image suggests some motifs are joined point-to-point, while others are joined with a short chain.
Attaching Pearls:
For the dangling teardrop pearls, attach them to headpins, form a loop at the top, and then attach to decorative silver filigree charms. These charms are then attached to the bottom points of the Main Floral Motifs using jump rings. (Observe 6 such drops in the image).
Small round pearls can be attached directly to the edge of motifs or incorporated into short chain links between motifs using headpins and jump rings. (Observe small round pearls scattered throughout the connections).
Finishing the Necklace: On each end of the necklace chain, attach a few simple crochet chain links (e.g., ch 5, sl st) to a small jump ring. On one end, attach a lobster clasp to a jump ring. On the other end, attach a larger jump ring or a short length of chain for the clasp to hook onto.
Weave in Ends: Securely weave in all loose yarn ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a neat and professional finish.
Adjust the length of the necklace by adding or removing connecting motifs or chain links as desired.
